Di-Cysgodion, led by Welsh bass player/composer HUW V WILLIAMS. The line up consists of Mike De Souza and Billy Marrows both on electric guitar, Jay Davis on drums and Huw V Williams completing the line up on electric bass. Williams goes back to his rock roots with this instrumentation to explore the sonic pallet from the view of a jazz improvisor/composer.
Having previously led projects with no harmony instruments, Huw decided to have a group which deals with harmony head on, exploring dense harmonic voicings paired with infectious rhythms and live stereo guitars. This music comes from a huge pool of influences, including Deerhoof, Ravel, Thelonious Monk, Super Furry Animals, Ornette Coleman, Hermeto and everything inbetween. A musical spectacle not to be missed.
Huw V Williams
Winner of the 2012 Yamaha Jazz Scholars Prize from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Huw draws on a rich combination of his Welsh roots, his training in jazz, and the contemporary creative music scenes in London, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. With a fast growing CV lit up by the names of some of his heroes including Jim Black, Michael Blake, Jason Robello, Neil Yates, and long-time mentor Huw Warren, Huw V Williams is building a beautiful bass filled world of free music and primal creativity.
